Fluorite is one of the most popular and most recognized stones in the world. Known for their perfect cleavage in 4 directions, fluorite crystals often display the satisfying iconic cube formations, octahedrons, and other aesthetic geometry. Found in a variety of hues that span the entire visible color spectrum, fluorite is highlighted by its vitreous luster and translucent to transparent interplay with light. This makes raw fluorite a compelling display specimen for home decor, as fluorite crystals easily capture the attention of anyone who looks their way. Fluorite from Xianghualing Mine in Hunan, China is known for its striking green hues that range from light mint to brilliant green. Perhaps the most striking examples from this region are those with a vitreous luster, which resemble a clear green glass, often displaying the quintessential cubic structures. You can also recognize white calcite often enshrouding the fluorite and sometimes the entire specimen matrix, usually jutting out like criss-crossing blades.
